But this summer in Greenwich, it will not be “As You Like It” — the SOS production will be performed only in the Rowayton section of Norwalk from June 13 to 30.

“We are going to take a break this year,” said Steven Yuhasz, SOS’ executive director. “It was very expensive to come to Greenwich. We needed to make budget cuts.”

Since Yuhasz came aboard in December 2011, he has been wielding a cost-cutting knife.

“We had to go from having an artistic director and managing director to going with just an executive director,” said Yuhasz, who has a background in producing and directing. “So I’m wearing both of those hats.”

Dropping Greenwich in the 18th summer season of SOS productions was not an easy decision.

“We had long discussions over not going to Greenwich,” Yuhasz said. “The cash reserve was gone.

“Before 2008, we had a cash reserve. They’re not letting you write off as much as you used to be able to for a nonprofit. We’re trying to be conservative.”

This year’s production costs have been cut by a third from the previous year.

“But it allows us to keep the production fresh,” Yuhasz said.

As part of the SOS mission to embrace the community, “We have a number of professional actors coming from Darien, Stamford and New Canaan, including Chris Ghaffari from Greenwich,” he said.

Auditions are now taking place in Norwalk.

“We’re lucky to keep going,” Yuhasz said, as fundraising has become a challenge. “We had to be very conservative with what we could raise. The board is extremely supportive. We’ve come out of it with a plan to move forward.”

“As You Like It” has a local guest director, Claire Kelly, and will be staged in a modern theater “in a pastoral setting blending The Bard’s classic comic opus with the greenery and natural amphitheater of Pinkney Park in Rowayton,” a promotional blurb for the show reads.

“Our intention is to come back next year,” Yuhasz said. “We haven’t left Greenwich completely. We are still continuing our summer camps and our educative programming.
